Concerning the adaptation of other family members, mainly siblings and grandparents, to the newborn, nurses should be aware that:
 
  1. sibling rivalry cannot be dismissed as overblown psychobabble; it can take a long time for negative feelings/behaviors to blow over.
  2. participation in preparation classes helps both siblings and grandparents.
  3. in the United States, paternal and maternal grandparents consider themselves of equal importance and status.
  4. since 1990, the number of grandparents providing permanent care to their grand-children has been decreasing.

Question 2

A 6-year-old is seen in a mental health clinic for possible hyperactivity. His mother reports that he is just all boy. He has always been active and does not like to sit still for more than a minute.
 
  Which of the following data would be most important to assess to help evaluate his behavior?
  A) Whether he was breastfed or bottle-fed as an infant
  B) Family medical history for circulatory illnesses
  C) A review of the boy's typical day
  D) Medical history for communicable diseases
